i’d be remiss if i didn’t start these notes with a
callout to our upcoming 10th r eunion. yes, it’s
been 10 years since we sat in our black caps and
gowns on that unusually sweltering day in can-
ton, n.y., and said goodbye to all-nighters, fat
bags, the pub and, of course, our fellow students
and professors. r eunion is a wonderful way to
reconnect with old friends, revisit the University
and see all of the improvements our alumni dol-
lars are helping make possible, and to once again
see oh-so-many popped polo collars in just one
place! to learn more about r eunion, visit alumni.

speaking of reuniting,

in the Lake placid law office of KDs sister erin e.
Hayes, esq. (erin Butler Hayes ‘01). Molly gradu-
ated from vermont Law school in May 2012 and
was admitted to the new york Bar in January
2013.
John Trentini
has also been mentoring a fel-
low sLU graduate: Mike Mousseau ’11. in May,
John will graduate from the Uniformed services
University of the Health sciences (UsUHs) with a
dual M.D./ph.D. degree. His ph.D. is in neurosci-
ence and he has been awarded his top-choice
residency in emergency medicine. as Mousseau,
John’s very proud roommate, writes, “John is in a
unique situation, serving in the United states air
Force while garnering these prestigious academic
achievements. John had the same faculty adviser
as me, Joe erlichman. John has come back to cam-
pus numerous times to hold talks and mentor fu-
ture scientists, such as myself. He took me under
his wing when i moved to D.c. two years ago and
i too will be entering medical school in the fall. i
owe a lot of my growth as a scientist to him.”
Rosanna Longenbaker
is enrolled in the infor-
mation and Library science program at southern
connecticut state University, in the special Librar-
ies career track, and is on schedule to graduate
with her Master of Library science degree in May.
she has completed two internships, the first in
research at Old sturbridge village, a living history
museum in sturbridge, Mass. r osanna writes, “i
enjoyed seeing some of the account books and
autograph books that the museum has from the
1800
s. also, i helpedwith taking inventory and ac-
cessioning donated books.”
More
recently,
r osanna
com-
pleted a 12-week
internship with the
U.s.
Department
of state in paris,
which
included
book
reviews
and summaries in english or French, updating
booklists, and conducting many internet-based
searches. Using the sLU Linkedin group, she con-
nected with Muna samawi Deuve ’06, right, who
lives in paris.
it seems like it wouldn’t be class notes these
days without either awedding or baby announce-
ment, and this edition is no exception.
Melanie
Adamsen Daniels
and husband a.J. welcomed
their first child, alexander Joseph Daniels. con-
grats, you two!

Fellow 2005 grads, the time we have joked about
for years has finally arrived: most of us are turn-
ing 30 this year. i did in December. i think i had
a harder time with 25. a new decade does mean
we’re getting older, but it also means we’re get-
tingwiser and getting involved in newopportuni-
ties and life experiences.

perience last July

and meet Laurentians here,”she said.
